arm wrestling is a sport of millimeters .

00:05.020 --> 00:08.150
So any tiny advantage you can get on

00:08.150 --> 00:10.890
their hand , whether it's here or here ,

00:11.390 --> 00:13.723
could be the difference between winning .

00:13.723 --> 00:12.760
And

00:17.580 --> 00:19.770
so originally I wanted to be a body

00:19.780 --> 00:22.300
builder . I saw the guys in the

00:22.310 --> 00:24.310
magazines and I wanted to look like

00:24.310 --> 00:27.370
that because I thought if you look

00:27.370 --> 00:30.300
strong , you must be strong . And then

00:30.300 --> 00:32.860
I saw bodybuilding competition on .

00:36.840 --> 00:40.680
But then I saw a strongman competition

00:41.480 --> 00:43.980
soon back . That's I wanted to get in

00:43.980 --> 00:46.260
the Strongman and I loved it . I

00:46.260 --> 00:50.200
absolutely loved it . So I was training

00:50.300 --> 00:53.480
Atlas Stones like crazy on on my fifth

00:53.480 --> 00:56.020
wrap . It slipped . So , like , um ,

00:56.020 --> 01:00.020
idiot , I caught it and threw my back

01:00.020 --> 01:02.076
out in six places and partially tour

01:02.076 --> 01:04.230
both of my directors . My back was

01:04.230 --> 01:07.750
completely it was bad .

01:08.540 --> 01:11.470
But in that time I was looking into

01:11.470 --> 01:14.600
stuff that was less about my back ,

01:16.640 --> 01:18.584
just so I could keep working now ,

01:18.780 --> 01:20.890
recovering , also still getting

01:20.890 --> 01:24.470
stronger . That was where I

01:24.870 --> 01:26.981
found out arm wrestling was a thing .

01:29.090 --> 01:31.201
The arm wrestling community is pretty

01:31.201 --> 01:33.312
tight knit . There's not very many of

01:33.312 --> 01:37.300
us . It's you need the guy across

01:37.300 --> 01:40.390
from U T . o B somebody you trust on ,

01:41.290 --> 01:44.860
you need them to know how to help you

01:44.870 --> 01:47.880
find what you re points are grow on

01:48.310 --> 01:51.120
better . So yeah , that perspective ,

01:53.420 --> 01:56.740
it's really cool is pretty painful ,

01:57.310 --> 02:00.350
but it's

02:00.690 --> 02:04.170
really , really satisfying when you get

02:04.180 --> 02:04.730
that pin .
